Question: What is the average cost per year at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville? Thanks?13 months ago
Best Answerhttp://www.siue.edu/prospectivestudents/pdf/establishing_illinois_residency.pdf |
Question: Southern Illinois University Edwardsville?I want to major in political science and then get an MPA from their. Are they a good school, and do they have a good rep. Hows their Public Administration Program?16 months ago
Best AnswerSIUE is a decent state school. It's by no means ranked among the best in the nation, or even in Illinois. They do have decent programs, including their Public Admin. program. |
Question: Whats your opinion on going to Southern Illinois Edwardsville?Well I just received my acceptance letter from Southern Illinois at Edwardsville. My original plans where to try and get into University of Illinois Urbana or Chicago but was denied acceptance. I thought about taking 1-2 years at a community college and then transferring to one of the University's of Illinois. Should I keep with that plan of going to communtion college or should I accept the offer at Southern Illinois. I plan to major in Computer Engineering. Does Southern Illinois have a good Computer Engineering Program? Also money isn't an issue.21 months ago
Best AnswerI transferred to SIUE from a community college and I loved it. I'm a Psych major and SIUE is one of the top 50 schools in the nation for my major. I'm not sure about their Comp Engineering program, but SIUE is known for excellent academics. However, if you really want to go to UIUC or UIC then I suggest going to a community college and reapplying. Don't settle for something other than what you want most. Have you visited the campuses? Would you plan on living in the dorms or off campus? Campus life is a big part of whether or not you'll be happy at your college. SIUE is mostly a commuter school. A good majority of the students grew up within an hour or two from the school, so there isn't as much of a dorm life as there is at UIUC or UIC. Do you want to be near a big city? Do you want to go to a school with 40,000+ students? These are all things you should consider before making a decision. |
